Great finds! I'd like to see them when the mud is cleaned off. A picture of the back of the buckle would be helpful too.

Congrats on the great finds Fred !

There were a huge amount of Sheep Farms here in Ohio many years ago.
I was told, that's one of the reasons we find so many Crotal Bells here.
Of course they were also used on horses and other types of livestock.

The buckle is blank on the back, I'll take another peek.

Yes it was rescued in a very large field. Thank you E-Trac. Never knew about the sheep. Makes total sense to track them.🐑

Looks like one side of an old spur, but really hard to say without a size reference.

Love the old Bells. Hopefully it still rings for you!

A crotal bell and a shoe buckle frame? That makes for a superb day of detecting ( despite the tick situation...hate ticks!) Big congrats!
